Training Camp Decides Bears' Future

Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus is keeping expectations grounded after minicamp and OTAs, calling spring performances a clean slate as real roster battles begin at training camp in late July. With left tackle among the top competitions — featuring Braxton Jones, Jedrick Wills, Theo Benedet, and Kiran Amegadjie — Eberflus plans to sort through spots through rotations and head-to-head play. Though the first week lacks full contact, the intensity ramps up quickly under Eberflus’s demanding style, with defensive end Montez Sweat already bracing for hard-hitting practices. The coach aims to settle most roster decisions by camp’s halfway point, ahead of the preseason opener against Cleveland on August 15th — and he’s determined to avoid last year’s late-season chaos, pushing for clarity early to set the team up for Week One success.
